Alabama football assistant Eric Kiesau is emerging as a leading candidate to be the Fresno State Bulldogs’ next offensive coordinator, according to sources.
Kiesau, an offensive analyst with the Crimson Tide, was the offensive coordinator at Washington in 2013 when the Huskies generated 499.3 yards and 37.9 points per game to rank second and third, respectively, in the Pac-12 Conference. He also has been an offensive coordinator at Colorado and started his ascent in coaching in the first of two stints at Cal working with the wide receivers under former Fresno State quarterback Jeff Tedford.
Coach Tim DeRuyter, reached on Saturday, declined to comment on the search.
